Bug in Text Filter or View

Hi.   I have a view (maybe more, not sure yet) where the text filter doesn't work correctly.
I can't see what's unique or different about this view but if I go to the Global View tab and filter there, it works but in this view (which is my Next Actions view) most text filters do not return any results after 1 or 2 characters.

Example:  In my NA view I have two entries like:
Bill Jeff for blah blah blah
-and-
Bill Frank for blah blah blah

If I go the text filter (either the box above the tasks list or in the advanced filters pane) and type 'bill', the view is empty.   If I go slow, I notice that after I type 'b' they are in the list but once I add the 'i' the list is empty.

I tried with multiple other random keywords that I see in this view ('find', 'roof', 'capital' and others) and none return proper response.
In the Global view, they all get found.

What on earth could be different about this view??  (or is it an MLO bug?)  I see nothing obvious or otherwise.

I'm on Win Desktop Pro v6.0.5.
See imgs attached.

Please advise.
J.

I noticed imgs too small to see.  These are larger.

Hi, 

Thank you for the detailed description with screenshots. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. Please make sure you have 'Task title' enabled in the text filter settings in Filter panel on the left:

Thank you Alyona, that was it, title was off and only context was selected.  Oopsie.

Funny enough in all the years I'm using MLO I don't think I ever even noticed that selector.   Now I'll have to review it for all my views/tabs lol!

Thank you!
